I would kill to see a bunch of tv dramas...but with Gorns.  

Mad Gorns.  A Gorn Don Draper would rock...

Or Two and a Half Gorns?  

Spoiler for Hiden:

The kid gets eaten in the pilot.

I love Myfitnesspal.com.  I was using the Android version for a while.  I really need to get back to it.  I want to get down to my birth weight.

I've always wanted to go to a Star Trek convention dressed as H.R. Pufnstuff and tell everyone I was a Gorn.

I had started to watch it on a friend's recommendation, but it didn't immediately pull me in so I abandoned it.  However, that's completely unfair of me as there are numerous shows I now love that started off the same way with me (Todd and the Book of Pure Evil, for example).  So I'm going to give it another go.

The thing I remember most about the animated Star Trek series was that they carried an inflatable Enterprise around with them for some reason. 



I kid you not.

Ditto.  Garak rules Star Trek.

Six ounces sounds about right to me. That's one chicken breast, which when combined with, say, rice and salad, is a satisfying and filling meal. I almost never eat more chicken than that in one sitting. Of course, American serving sizes tend to be considerably larger than their European counterparts.

But you guys are smaller....and you know, 'Murica and all that. 

I read somewhere (or made it up, not sure) that the average height of a Dane is around 3' 4".  However, Great Danes can sometimes reach heights of 4 and a half feet.

What do you mean what gets shown?  The stuff that's on the first page is just a small subset of what's currently popular.  They have 10's of thousands of movies streaming.  I would imagine if you're looking for a specific movie you have to do a search.

But he's running his monitor at a MUCH higher resolution than you.

Heil Barack!

Hopefully, I'll get some game time in later today or this weekend.  However, the Shadows expansion for Distant Worlds was just released a little bit ago so I expect to be roaming the spaceways as a dirty pirate for most of memorial day weekend.   

Doesn't mean I like Van Helsing any less...just means...well...pirate, people...pirate!

I have to question Microsoft's decision to enter the world of total home entertainment this way.  I know they've always wanted to do so, but this seems a bit heavy handed.

Well, as we've learned here today, he HAS committed atrocities.

There's very few ways to respond to that without coming off as cold or unfeeling.  So I'll ask you just this: do you believe we are governed by people who enjoy killing innocents?

I think the word enjoy is what throws off the question you're asking.

How about do you believe we are governed by people who care if we kill innocents?

I think the answer is yes. I've done some reading on the PITA it is to get the president to authorize a kill order on high value targets and the way these events were reported were that they took GREAT pains to avoid civ casualties.

That said, I also don't believe most politicians care two craps about the average american or his struggles.  So it's a delicate balancing act on their part.

My point being that I think we dehumanize those that lead us way too easily.  It's difficult to see our politicians as real human beings that struggle with the decisions they have to make.  It's far easier to make them all into Snidely Whiplash caricatures.  No one is ever that simplistically bad.

Played about 30 minutes so far.  This game is right up my alley.  It feels like Titan Quest but with a Gothic setting.  It doesn't do anything revolutionary, but what it does do it does pretty dang well.  Two thumbs up!

Created a character named, of course, Solomon Kane.  I'll try MP later if anyone's around.   Might be tomorrow though by the time I get back to it.

I think you'll find that Eco doesn't agree that there really IS a loophole though.  Just that it shouldn't be investigated when exploited...or the use of the word "exploited".

The best part is that he continually says that anyone that doesn't agree with him is an idiot (or worse) and then expresses genuine indignation when he gets insulted himself eventually.  

Don't ever change, Eco.  Don't ever change.

I actually feel good about myself in light of that photo.  At no point in my life would I think to be outraged by a Marine holding an umbrella over the head of ANY president...no matter his party of origin. 

If you consider a triple windmill windup and a victory dance immediately afterwards to be "dropped", then yes.

I actually like it too...but I also love me some Mike and the gang.   

You do know you only serve to weaken your assertions with such hyperbole, right?

You had me at hello.  

p.s. still waiting on the definition of "naive" as it's obvious you don't know the meaning of the word "atrocity".

Tragic story, and I agree completely with ATB.

Tragic story, and I agree completely with Eco.

Wasn't the worst president the one with the funky cigar holder?

Franklin Delano Roosevelt wasn't THAT bad...

This shit isn't going away anytime soon.  I'm not naive enough to think any of these atrocities will result in the worst president in my life being removed from office though.

Define naive.

oh...then...uh...yeah...sheesh...umm...hey....give Purge a try. 

update:

Bad News:  they couldn't get the rights to Twilight after all.  They said it was a very amicable meeting and that they left the door open for the guys to riff on it in the future, but right now they believe it's too valuable a commodity for them to mess with.

Good News: They're doing 1997's Starship Troopers.  For some, that's one of the holy grails.  It's supposedly coming in August as another live event in theaters.  I will be there the day it opens...unless it's during Gencon.

...ah hell, who am I kidding, I'll make time and find it even then.

I can't help it.  When I see a witch hunter/solomon kane style character in a gothic setting that looks like a Hammer Film, I can't resist.  hands down my favorite game setting.

I would like to note I just found out that this is the first chapter in what is supposed to be a three chapter game.  they're promising 8 to 10 hours for this first chapter, if that's any help in setting your expectations appropriately.

...and look to ron for a definitive review.  he's the one to trust at the end of the day on these matters.   

nineteen...gigs...19...gigs....sweet jesus....19 gigs.

Anyway, I'll give it a go when I get home tonight.  For around 14 bucks, it's in the sweet spot for safe gaming purchase. 

I...uh...I lied.  

Downloading now.  

In my defense, it's only 14 bucks on sale right now.

first thoughts?

19 gigs!?!?!

Jesus, that S is everywhere!  Is it a monster or other villain in the movie too?  That woman looks AWFULLY frightened of it, no matter what.

dude, like I said, spoilers!

I was just ribbing you btw, you didn't have to actually spoiler anything

So the giant S ISN'T a villain in the new movie?   

Calm down people.  We need to wait for Fox News to weigh in.

Has Microsoft given out specs on how many times we'll have to return our Xbox Ones before getting one that works longer than 6 months?

You don't have to make them more complex to address loop holes/ways of gaming the system.

Jesus, that S is everywhere!  Is the S a monster or some other type of villain in the movie too?  

Spoiler for Hiden:

Couldn't agree more. 

As Eco has told us in the past, Republicans do not believe that "loop holes" are a bad thing.  They actually refer to them as "Strategic Financing".

so I can watch Hep in his boxers while watching porn?

aren't you doing that already?

Same thing.

If they make a fourth without Downey, I hope they don't reboot it.  Just continue on with the new lead a la James Bond.  I'm getting tired of seeing origin stories over and over and over again due to new lead actors stepping into a role.
